So effectively:

- the quickml package has been unusable out of the box for at least 4 years due 
to a missing dependency
- a bug was filed 3 years ago, but no one cared enough about the impact to 
escalate it before now
- the package also (apparently) depends on the existence of /etc/mailname at 
runtime; but rather than populating it with correct contents (an actual 
mailname), you are making it an empty file, which is incorrect and could 
interfere with the proper functioning of other packages which may be installed 
later and expect to prompt the user for the value to populate the file with if 
it does not exist
- the Debian maintainer has rejected the latter change.

I do not think this upload is suitable for SRU.  Rejecting.
